   Ø How to make them for call signs

   Ø   is really a Nordic O slash. For a true slashed zero -- see URL:   
   http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Slashed_zero   
      
   The slashed zero looks just like a regular letter 'O' or number '0' (zero),   
   but it has a slash through it. Unlike the Scandinavian vowel 'Ø' and the   
   "empty set" symbol '?', the slash touches the walls of the surrounding O   
   shape but does not extend past them on the outside.

    In Ham work I use the Nordic O   Ø   for call signs, but be aware this can   
   goof up some logging programs
